Very interesting question. Biochar actually accelerates the composting process. bioresources.cnr.ncsu.edu/resources/the-influence-of-biochar-addition-on-chicken-manure-composting-and-associated-methane-and-carbon-dioxide-emissions/
I wish I had seen this before starting my poultry house I used rice bran instead, thank you for this video am a first-time poultry farmer and I love all your videos so insightful and I trust ALL your videos God bless you.
TOMBS UP FOR U BROTHER U ARE TOO MUCH. MAY GOD ALMIGHTY ALWAYS SUPPORTING U. I HAVE SEEN THE VIDEO BEFORE BUT JUST NOW I RE-WATCH THE VIDEO IT SEEMS I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE N IT LOOKING INTERESTED EACH TIME SOMEONE WATCH YOUR VIDEOS. TOMS UP FOR U BROTHER.
Thank you so much, I appreciate this. Let's say in ideal situation * Good weather *Stock density is average *Minimal water spillage What's can be average length of time for litter before change
All those are relative. Good weather here is not the same as good weather there. I've seen people who managed to raise 8 weeks broilers on a litter without changing. For layer chickens, you can go as long as 6 months without changing and when you do, it not because of odour or wetness, it's usually because it has turned to dust There's actually no one-size-fits-all answer for how long before you change litter for broilers
This is very informative sir.... You always do justice to every teaching... And its always result's-ful when ever I follow all the guidelines you give sir..... Thanks
Good day Mr Opeoluwa thanks for always educating us. Pls is this applicable to be used for day old chicken. If not from how many weeks can will start using it. Thanks
Hello, thank you for this useful information. I am trying that actually. What about coconut husk, it is absorbant too. May be we can use it like that too. It can be more ecofriendly
@@patricknnagbo1349 There is no one-size-fits-all answer to that. Factors like stocking density, prevailing weather, and litter management will determine when the litter will be due for a change.
Hello i just now find your channel and right away subcribe. I am a young poultry farmer a lady. But i dont cement my floor can i use chrcoal the same way.
Will the mixing of charcoal with wood shelving when preparing the bedding not affect the end product. ie the waste of the birds been converted yo manure.
It is more suited for the deep litter system. Except you have a kind of setting where you have to put shavings under your cages for the poop to fall on it, then this may not be useful for the conventional battery cage system with a drain.
Thank you, and welcome to the Channel. Overall, the time of removal will depend on a couple of factors. Stocking density, age of birds, prevailing weather, litter management on the part of the workers. This means there is no right or wrong answer to your question. What I can say is that this method prolongs the time.
Hi hello sir. 1) Is the charcoal and the wood saw hull mix before put the chicks? 2) is it good if I use rice hull and carbonized rice hull? Thank you God bless
Thanks for the info. Does the charcoal affect the composting process?

What happened where charcoal is very expensive? How do you manage that?
@@alasiriadebimpe9128you make it yourself. Search youtube. Lots of videos.
@@alasiriadebimpe9128use left over charcoal. If you go to charcoal sellers ask them for the left overs

Bravo, weldon sir, am a new farmer who learns daily from your lectures.
Thanks again... Your videos are so educating, I wish I knew all these earlier. However, I am so happy cuz I have learned.
Thank you DIY. I put charcoal under the litter of my battery cage, and the odour disappeared, just like magic.
Thank you so much, I appreciate this.

You a young strong man sharing so much
Thanks a lot sir 👍👍 really charcoal works as a magic.. .. it's wonderful 🎉🎉
Amazing tips!!! Thanks. Only issue is that Charcoal is not cheap to get, especially when you are in the Cities or urban areas.
Its super easy to make your own...
This is very informative sir.... You always do justice to every teaching... And its always result's-ful when ever I follow all the guidelines you give sir..... Thanks
Appreciate!
How long will it take before the bedding is changed?
How regular should the bedding be replaced since they will lay feaces on it?
Thanks so much for such an insightful video.
May God bless ya.
Would you recommend charcoal powder?
Highly informative and well explanatory
Bless you boss
Thanks for the good word
Good day Mr Opeoluwa thanks for always educating us. Pls is this applicable to be used for day old chicken. If not from how many weeks can will start using it. Thanks
Yes but I prefer to start at around 10 days
Thanks soooooo much, from the West Indies.
This is a must try in my farm though charcoal cost isn’t cheap
Charcoal waste is cheaper
This is very informative. Thanks sir
How many weeks can it last with the mix charcoal
Thanks 👍 I do have a big problem with moist I ’ m going to do
Thank you thank you and a bigger thank you for this eye opening info
Thanks bro for the advice
Thank you ❤
Thanks 🙏 fr the information sir
Hello, thank you for this useful information. I am trying that actually. What about coconut husk, it is absorbant too. May be we can use it like that too. It can be more ecofriendly
Great info Sir... Pls can I mix rice husk with charcoal?
Thanks for this sir, but after using charcoal and sawdust. Can it last for 6 weeks before I clean it? Or I need to clean it always?
I need to know too
If you make it 6 inches or more in depth yes it will last longer you just need to stir it up every few days with a shovel
Even sand for it dries quickly and you can it one time to loosened it
Thank you for this. In a situation where the birds are always throwing their water and making the liter wet, would this apply?
@@ria5435 Sand does not dry quickly, and it can’t absorb odours, and will not become useful fertilizer (biochar) when removed from the coop.
This works great. I can smell my flowers again…
Thank you may l confirm, after all this investment, after how long should l change
The time it takes depends on a number of factors
- Stocking density
- Water spillage
- Relative humidity
etc.
@@diyagric okay thank you loads
Thank u so much
Can we
😊 Thanks for youri advice.i use saw dust is
Thanx for that I didn't know
Have to try it

Thanks my man....very useful video...charcoal to fill up a room will be damn expensive.
True!
Thanks bros, I think this is applicable to layers too?

@@patricknnagbo1349 There is no one-size-fits-all answer to that. Factors like stocking density, prevailing weather, and litter management will determine when the litter will be due for a change.
You are my mentor🎯
Hello i just now find your channel and right away subcribe. I am a young poultry farmer a lady. But i dont cement my floor can i use chrcoal the same way.

Yes 100%
Merci
Can wood shavings be replaced by saw dust too?
What brand did you use for the Charcoal? I'm looking for good options, but it's difficult to find an affordable option!
super easy to make your pwn charcoal...
Wow good one 👍
Just coming across this video. How does this apply to the cage farming system?
can we use hemp as the bedding instead of the wood chippings? how often do you usually replace the bedding?
Will the mixing of charcoal with wood shelving when preparing the bedding not affect the end product. ie the waste of the birds been converted yo manure.
Welldone brother
Thanks my sister. You are great.
I wonder how you clean up the litter with this much stuff mixed up with it? How will one be able to make fertiliser from the chicken poop?
谢谢你

Kindly mention the quantity used for 1000sqft.
Combien de temps la litière dois faire dans le poulailler
do I have to use bamboo charcoal or can I use normal charcoal
Is the charcoal the same as barbque Charcoal?
YES
Even sand for it dries quickly and you can rake it onetime to loosened it letting it to dry if there's moist
Sand is heavy
Thx bro
Can this charcoal be used for battery cages too
It is more suited for the deep litter system. Except you have a kind of setting where you have to put shavings under your cages for the poop to fall on it, then this may not be useful for the conventional battery cage system with a drain.
Can I use charcoal powder or must it be the chunks?
@@diyagric senior please wats the best way to reduce smell in battery cage... Esp the H type
Pls is saw dust good for deep litter
Interesting
Do you do training from how to build poultry deep cage to how to make the broiler grow for sale?
Do you have secrets for duck coops?
Do your prepare the floor like this even when the chicks are Day Old, sir?
It's the best practice if you can
How often would you clean the house?
Pls can we use arches
Yes, but not the same application.
